THAT PRIZE FIGHT,

The prize fighters should be made to
understand that the laws OF Minnesota
are in writing and that they mean what
they say. When the legislature made
prize fighting criminal otfense punish
able with imprisonment in the peni-
Tertiary it did so with an intelligent
knowledge of what it was doing. The leg
islature did not make any mistake. The
law is in entire harmony with the best
public sentiment, and there should be
no laXity in its enforcement. Prize
fighting is just as gross violation of
law as thieving or forgery, and a
thousand times more brutal. The state
prison is cheated of it's dues as long as
the prize fighter is at large. The two
men who went over into Dakota county
yesterday morning and pounded each
other into jelly are just as deserving of
the penitentiary as the YOUNGER
brothers, and it will be re-
Election upon the judicial admins
tratiOn in Minnesota if they are
not arrested, prosecuted and lodged in
Saltwater. The people of this section
are literally disposed and tolerate many
forms of amusement and so-called sports
which are not tolerated in other see
lions. But liberality Of sentiment will
never induce an intelligent and self
respecting community to encourage
prize fighting. That is species of bru-
tality which would disgrace a tribe of
SaYageS.

WASHINGTON,S TOME.

1t occasionally happens that our En-
gllSh relations are little too free in
rendering advice to their American
cousins. The average Englishman
looks upon this country as being some
what fresh in its ideas, all Oh account of
Its youth, and is consequently overly
free III assuming patroniZing attitude
toward US. Canon WILBERFORCE, who
is really most elegant representative
of the best type of the Englishman, has
recently been our welcome guest
and has received hospitable
attention of which any foreigner might
be proud. And yet the good canon has
stepped beyond the bounds of propriety
IN making a suggestion to the American
people which cannot be swallowed by
US with very good grace. On visiting
Mount Vernon the canon expressed him.
self as being Mortified to find the remains
of WASHINGTON resting in a plain
brick tomb. He didn't hesitate to rec
ommend that the brick should be torn
away and marble tomb erected. Now,
If there is any one thing the American
people are sensitive about it is WASH
NGToN'S tomb. Mount Vernon is the
Americans Mecca. 1t is freedoms per-
petual shrine and must not be touched
by profane hands, and above all must
not be defiled by the touch of Brit
iSher. If it was not for our recollec-
ton of how WASHINGTON licked the
red coats we would have no theme for
our Fourth of July Orat0ry. Canon
WILBERFORCE did not realize the gray
ity Of his impertinent suggestion
or he surely would not have
been guilty Of such a fragrant breach of
hospitality. The fact is that we Amer
leans, when visiting Mount Vernon. feel
little ashamed Of the shabby appear
ance of the resting place of the father
of his country. But we smother our
pride in our patriotism. The tomb is
just as WASHINGTON directed it to be
built. 1t was his positively expressed
wish that his body, after death, should
be permanently placed in brick
tomb. 1t was for that reason
his widow refused to allow his
remains to be removed to the crypt of
the capitol at the national seat of gov
eminent, in which place had been
prepared for the purpose. If WASHING
TON preferred brick to marble that is
no business of ours. We are going to
respect his wishes, ard there is no use
for any Britisher to try to persuade us
otherwise. They can put all the marble
in Westminster abbey that they please.
But GEORGE WAsHINGToN's remains
are going to rest in brick Enclosure.
and if the proud British don't like it
they can lumD If.

Religio-Philosophica journal.
An interesting and suggestive incident
occurred here in Sturgis at the 'sdeath''
of citizen. l was not present at the
time, but give it as it was related to me
by one Of the parties who was. 1t may
illustrate the mysterious association
which exists between the risen spirit
and us dull mortals who are still sub
iect to earthly environments. A Ger
tain gentleman, whose profession was
that of an auctioneer, was one
whose attention was entirely alb
sorbed by his business and so
cial relations. Although I knew
him for several years l am not aware
that he ever gave a thought to religion
OF future life. His wife was pro-
nounced Spiritualist, but he seemed not
to give the subject the least attention.
He buried his daughter some years be-
fore his final illness. Even during the
time of his fatal attack of sickness he
seemed obliviOus to the subject of an
after life. His last words were: 1T is
getting very dark, but Maria has come
for me; she will show me the way, for
she has lantern in her hand Per-
hapS the Journal readers will agree
with me that the idea of the lantern is a
beautiful one"

FOR TRAVELLING MEN.

Beginning with this morning the
GLOBE establishes travelling mems de-
partment, which will appear every Mon
day morning. No class of men in the
Northwest is more energetic, enterpris-
ing and wideawake than the representa-
tives on the road of the Northwest's
many business houses. They have done
as much as any other body of men in
aiding the development of the North
west, and to them more than to any 9TH
ers is due the credit for build
ing up the immense trade which
the Twin Cities now enjoy. Forming
a class apart, the sayings and doings of
the travelling men are of interest, not
only to themselves, but also to the Gus
toners whom they regularly visit and
TO the general public which has right
fully been taught to look upon them as
an exceptionally intelligent body of
inen, with peculiar facilities for obser-
yation.
The GLOBE has for some time been
the fayorite paper with the discriminate
ing commercial tourists, and it is i'm re-
Eporlse to very general request, as

The pension business in this country

on its side if well pushed. He had a

Since then she has supported herself

THAT RUSSIAN TREATY.

Secretary BAYARD has possibly
waded In diplomatic water beyond his
depth in negotiating treaty with the
Russian government, whereby the
United States obligateS itself to deliver
up Russian refugees charged with polit-
zeal crimes. 1t is a favorte American
tradition that this country is the refuge
of all eXiles who have been driven from
the lands Of their nativity on account of
their political opinions. The people of
this country are not disposed to
break that tradition at this time,
even to please so good friend
to the United States as the Rus
sian government has been. Our people
are not ungrateful to Russia for her
friendly offices during the late civil war.
At the same time we are conscious
that Russia'S friendship at that
time was a selfish one. 1t was
not because the ear loved our demo-
cratic institutions that he befriended us.
1t was rather because he saw an oppor-
tunity to use this republic rs an instru-
ment to avenge himself on France and
England. But whatever his motives
may be, we are not disposed to call them
i'll question now. We recognize the fact
that Russia was valuable friend to
this government at a time when it
sorely needed the services of friend,
and this nation stands ready to return
the friendship i'll kind whenever the OPP
portunity is presented. But the exist
ence of this friendly sentiment will not
Justify the state department in conclud-
ing treaty with Russia, or with any
other monarchical government on the
face of the earth. the right to drag from
our hospitable shores foreigners who
have fled their own country to escape
political persecution, and have sought
an asylum under the protection of
our flag. The star Spangled banner
is ample enough to enclose within its
folds all the liberty-loying people of the
world. If we grant to Russia the right to
demand the return Of her refugee nihil-
lists, it will then only be question of time
when Great Britain will be demanding
of us to drive out all Irish hOme-rule
sympathizers The line has to be drawn
somewhere, and it is best to let it remain
where the founders of our government
drew it. We want no amended treaties
with Russia or any other country which
would destroy our national tradition,
that America is ''the land of the free
and the home of the brave"

SPARKS DECISIONS.
Secretary Lamar Sustains Several
Northwestern Cases.
Special to the Globe.

NOSth"cSCern cases.
Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, May 22.-In the case of
the appeal of HOag johnson from the
decision of Commissioner Sparks, Secre-
tary Lamar sustains the decision and
orders cancellation of the pre-emption
entry of Johnson in the st. Paul dis
trict.
The decision of the commissioner is
also sustained i'll ordering cancellation
OF presumption cash entry of Charles B.
Blake in st. Paul district. A special
agent visited the claim and found san
unfinished house, with snow so deep in
1t that it was impossible to determine
whether it was fiOored or not. There
was no roof and the walls showed no in
d1eationS that there ever had been a
roof; no window nor door, nor any OPEN
ing in the wall for any; no clearing-no
trees cut except such as had been cut
down to furnish logs for the house."
George Maurer'S appeal from the de-
clSlon OF general land Office canceling
homestead entry in Mitchell district is
denied. The commissioner decision is
affirmed and entry cancelled ''for bad
faith and attempt to defraud the gov
ernment.N
ny uooioioL VI commissioner SPARKS
is affirmed in the matter of holding for
cancellation the homestead entry of
John j.: Hills, in Beadle county, Da-
kOta. 1t was shown that Hills .sWhOlly
abandoned said tract for more than Six
months, and never made nor erected a
habitable house, nor established resi-
dence thereon, and wholly failed to i'm
prove within six months, as required bv
law. 1t is further shown that Hills is
a single man, who lived in Mortified,
Mimi, and returned to Mortified soon
after making entry and before making
any Improvement. He afterwards
erected little shanty worth SIS on the
claim and slept in it three CT four
times" No evidence of intent to reside
upon or improve the land is shown.

For the Homesteader.

WASHINGTON, May 22.-Ex-Senator
Van Wyck has written letter to the
secretary of the interior, asking that the
appointment of appraisers for the aban-
doned military reservations in Nebraska
and Colorado, authorized under the act
of 1884 to be sold, be delayed until the
next meeting of congress. He states
that when congress adjourned
an amendment to this act was upon
the calendar, having the unanimous
Endorsement of the committee on public
lands, the effect of which would have
been, had it passed, to dispose of these
lands to hOmeSteads instead of by sale,
possibly to syndicates under the present
law. He has no doubt that the ap-
praisement sale will be delayed until
Congress has another chance to amend
the law.

Small Jamie was at his devotions one
royal winters morning. Now it hap
pened that great hill sloped just past
the window near which our little Wor-
shipper was kneeling, and honesty COM
pels me to acknowledge that one of
Jamie's eyes was intent on temporal
things, while the other was piously
given to those of spiritual import. Mid
way in the petition Jamie's temporal
eye spied PROSTATE figure coming iubi-
lantly down the hill. 1t was too much
for the small mans piety. The spiritual
eye flew open wide, and jamie darted to
the window and uttered an excited

knees and ended his prayer.

During the late Christmas holidays
large firm in J. employed as all as

duty assigned to him was to act as a
Waterman and prevent the peculatiOn
of all sorts of small fancy articles that
were lying about the counters for eXhi-
.bitiOn at that time.
One day half-groWn boy came into
the store, and after looking all around,
pricing first one thing and then another,
among which were some very nice socks,
he finally started to go out of the door.
AT this moment the clerk touched him
lightly on the shoulder, and inviting
him to come to the back part of the
store, said to him, politely: "Oblige me
by giving me at once the socks that you
have in your back pocket"
''How do. you know l have any socks
in my back pocket?" demanded the boy
in bold tone.

clerk very gently.
The boy looked up into the young
mans face in utter amazement. care
you looking at nOw?" he asked earn
eStly. "DO you see me this very Mill

''Of course do" replied the clerk.
Good Lord, mister!'' cried the boy
with blanching face; "here's your
Socks! And with bound he was out
the back door, over the fence and away,
having learned lesson concerning all
seeing eyes, which it is to be hoped he
may never forget.
